    The study compared cerebral-limbic functional connectivity in bipolar mania (BD-M), bipolar depression (BD-D), and healthy controls (HC).

  • 2

    Resting-state fMRI revealed no significant group differences in cerebral-limbic connectivity after FDR correction, indicating exploratory findings.

  • 3

    BD-D patients exhibited increased functional connectivity in the default mode network and limbic regions, while BD-M patients showed reduced connectivity.

  • 4

    Distinct cerebral-limbic connectivity patterns suggest potential neurofunctional correlates of mood states in bipolar disorder.

  • 5

    The study highlights the need for further research to validate these exploratory findings in larger independent cohorts.
